Spawning player on join.

[rusztamas]

function spawn_player_on_join()
spawnPlayer (source, 0, 0, 0)
end
addEventHandler ("onPlayerJoin", spawn_player_on_join)

I'd like to spawn player on join, instead of play resource spawning, but it shows a black screen. What could be the problem? Arguments? 

[NeXuS™]

function spawn_player_on_join()
	spawnPlayer (source, 0, 0, 0)
	fadeCamera(source, true)
end
addEventHandler ("onPlayerJoin", spawn_player_on_join)

Now i can see the skies... It is still not good, and btw i left the argument out from the eventhandler.

Add this line to it.
 

setCameraTarget(source)

 

[itHyperoX]

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root,function()
    spawn(source)
end)


function spawn(source)
    x, y, z = 2028.4606933594, 1342.2176513672, 10.8203125
    repeat until spawnPlayer(source,x+1,y+1,z, 0,303)
    setCameraTarget(source, player)
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setElementRotation(source, 0, 0, -90)
end

don't use onPlayerJoin event I guess.

Try onClientResourceStart so this thing work whenever the resource starts instead whenever the player join. when the player joins this resource would not be loaded and therefore won't work I guess.

local x,y,z = 0,0,0

function spawnHandler(player)
	spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z)
	fadeCamera(player, true)
	setCameraTarget(player, player)
end

function start()
	local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
	for i, v in ipairs(players) do
		spawnHandler(v)
	end
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), start )

function join()
	spawnHandler(source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), join)

This will handle player spawning on join, and in the event that you restart the resource whilst people are in the server it will handle respawning too.

Works fine as I use this for many resources of my own.

Also this doesn't make any sense. "onPlayerJoin" is only being triggered because the resource IS loaded.

@LopSided_, this post is already fixed btw. You can see my posts above.

@NeXuS™ that's great.

However I wanted to provide a slightly more advanced solution and also clear up any confusion with the information posted by SuperCroz.

@LopSided_ It doesn't make any sense but I believe I was right. Because the event onPlayerJoin is triggered whenever a player joins, at this point he has no resources started therefore this won't be working for him and when the resource starts it would be too late to trigger the event onPlayerJoin because the player did not just join.

To sum up, and I'm not quite sure as I mentioned above, onPlayerJoin can be only triggered when the resource was already started, so for instance to use onPlayerJoin we trigger this event to affect an already exisiting player by the joining of another player while we can't affect the joining player.
